[REQ] Radio 2.15.x

Looks like Adrenalyne's server is down.... bandwith exceeded. Can someone post a link to the radio if you've downloaded and have it?
Want to Got to CM6 RC3 today, but won't do it w/o the radio updated. Would prefer something I can just run through HBOOT like a ZIP.
Thanks, If you post, please provide directions on how to install.
Again, Thanks.

You don't need the 2.15 radio to use CM6RC3. I'm using the 2.05 radio just fine.

i thought the 2.15 was much better then 2.05...

From what I read it's a hit or miss. Some people take longer to charge battery, or some slower/faster speeds on 3g. I would stick with the 2.05 radio.

File PB31IMG.zip, which I dl from your site, put on my sd card, and tried installing using ROM Manager... doesn't work. Any ideas?

Go back to the unrevoked forever page and read it carefully.
If you haven't done s-off, well, definitely go back there and read carefully first.

If I sound stern, I mean it to be. Radios aren't something to be trifled with, and you need to be very careful with what you are doing.

seriously.
I've read 7-10 people wonder why clockworkmod can't flash their upgraded radio.
radio partition can't be fixed if fugged up, correct?

Correct, you'll get a brick.
I mean... if you name it correctly, HBOOT will find the file and ask you if you want to upgrade your radio and recovery... this should be easy. Plus, it flashes recovery, so you probably don't want to be IN recovery whilst flashing recovery.
Maybe we need to redo the wiki entry; right now it looks like something from Wikipedia, when what it should have are the instructions for flashing radios (complete with warnings), flashing ROMs, battery stats reset directions, etc. Then new-comers wouldn't have to wade through these threads that are becoming bloated with the same questions and answers.

As an Incredible owner, and a budding annoying noob, I would welcome the ability to find this information in the wiki. I've spent several hours over the last two days scouring threads and the wiki and am still pretty confused.
I made what I now think was a mistake in applying Unrevoked Forever. My end goal was to get Skyraider Vanilla going on my Dinc, and I've just been feeling my way through the process. I've hacked other stuff before and thought I could find my way through with the help of awesome, helpful folks like yourselves, but I'm currently feeling like I'm in over my head.
My sense is that I need to flash my radio from the stock 1.00.03.04.06 to the 2.15 and then load Skyraider Vanilla ... but the Unrevoked folks are clear to say that when you have Forever you should flash all partitions simultaneously, so now I'm worried about what flashing the radio to 2.15 might do before I load Skyraider. And, I have read all the info. on flashing radios and taken it to heart - I am sufficiently afraid of bricking my phone.
But now that I have Forever I'm worried about what happens when the official 2.2 update comes out. I haven't found any instructions that make it clear enough to me how to handle that.
I don't expect anyone to clean up the mess I made, but I would certainly be grateful for some more noob-oriented details in the wiki. I'd also be happy to help with that effort, if there was anything I could do.
Thanks for all the great, free and often thankless work you do to keep technology open.

Unrevoked forever is only a mistake if you need to get warranty work done.... If that's the case, you have two choices... hope that the noob tech at vzw doesn't realize you have s-off or get insurance and say it was "stolen"
You can flash a radio pretty safely w/o worrying about bricking AS LONG AS YOU DON'T FLASH THE SAME EXACT RADIO TWICE IN A ROW (like if it failed the first time or something. MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR RADIO VERSION IN HBOOT BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING). If you don't upgrade your hboot (stay on 77) you'll be fine with the new radio. Don't make a practice of flashing radio's though as it's not very safe to do it all the time. I would recommend that if you have hboot 77, upgrade the radio to either 2.05 or 2.15 using the file attached in this thread, or directly from adrenylines site. To be 100% sure, I'd compare md5sum's to be sure before flashing it. Then flash SkyRaider. Make sure to do a wipe before doing so. I'm running 77, 2.15x, and CM6 RC3 w/o problems and love it. I'm a fan of CM6 hardcore, so SkyRaider is pretty much the best sense unless you use adrenylines Second Wave.... PM me if you have any q's. I'll help you out.

The dudes on this forum rule!

Thank you so much! It's so "incredible" that folks like you are willing to help make this stuff accessible to noobs like me.
I have some heavy meetings in the next few days that I need my phone for, so it may be a few days before I can give it a go, but I will post my progress/results here. I have been thinking about the CM6 ROM, as I'm looking to see what true vanilla android is like, so maybe I'll give that a go.
My main concern with any ROM is Exchange ActiveSync, as I need that for work. There aren't many comments from folks about this at all, so I guess I'll just need to give it a go and find out for myself.

HTC pays for Exchange licensing I believe, so the BEST integration is going to be with a sense Rom. I believe that CM6 does have some Exchange "add-in's" to make it run better, but sense will have better exchange then plain vanilla (remember, except CM6). <- you can always check their change log. I know it has something in it for Exchange that you can take and investigate further.

Wait for official release of new radio?
One quick question. I just ready yet another page (can't post the link, since I'm a noob) explaining the possibility that the supposedly-coming-soon official update could include a new version of the radio that won't play nice with the leaked version. Specifically, it said, "Some figure there is a 50/50 chance that applying the leak, and then applying the final OTA update will brick your phone – making it completely useless."
Any thoughts on the probability of that being the case. I don't want to be yet another person asking "should I go for it," but I am curious what the smart ones around here think about the probability of the official update causing problems if you flashed the leaked radio.

Well, first, please provide me the post, you can type hxxt:// instead so you can post it here.
The "official" OTA is supposed to be coming August 18th (take that with a grain of salt) so not much more wait. If what you read is true, then I would imagine that it's a simple downgrade of whatever your current radio is to stock 1.xx and Hboot will be 77 or 79 whichever you have (b/c both were shipped originally with phone, they're not leaks) which we CAN do, then upgrade to official radio from stock. I can't see how that would brick anything since that's basically what would happen on a stock phone. IF YOU'RE CAREFUL, you can do just about anything you want to your phone, then they return it to stock (aside from S-OFF at this time)....
Edit:
Also, if you want to get into the Android Scene, here are some great Blogs which you might wanna start looking at every now and then. Lots of good news and leaks unlike Engadget who are constantly sucking on Jobs tit:

No Worries! I might recommend that if the update comes out on the 18th you just use that for a while. You can still root it, put new kernels on it (that I'm sure someone will put out), erase / install apps, etc... and that should carry you over nicely until you've read up on things and are ready to jump into this head first.
Like I said, whenever you're ready, pm me if you have q's I'll do my best to answer them. I'll read the post you mentioned and If I find anything worth writing home about I'll update this thread.
Good Luck.... and don't feel bad. I use this as my primary device too, so I usually err on the side of caution as well. A quick suggestion, sometimes it's easier to search what you're looking for on google then XDA directly. You can google something like XDA Incredible radio 2.15 upgrade and I've gotten more accurate results with goog then XDA... i weird but sometimes works better, sometimes works worse.....
Again, good luck!

Thanks for your concern... I do have Unrevoked forever flashed on my device, so how do I go about loading the new 2.15 Radio? I followed the last set of instructions I read and the flash didn't take, still have radio 2.05.00.06.11.

With all that said, out of all the ROM's I've tried so far I like SkyRaider the best. I know the 2.5 Rom took, but I don't think the 2.5.2 version took to my phone. I also want to upgrade the Radio and add the latest version of Flash. The last few flashes I've done (2.5.2, radio, and Flash) haven't seemed to work. Unrevoked Forever has been the only thing that has actually flashed successfully.
What should I do?

[Q] Unlocking the New HTC EVO 4G

I know, I know, I know...
I am a member of a few different forums for other things and there is always a neb that comes on and asks a question that has been beat to death.
I have heard that God kills a kitten ever time someone post a thread before doing a search on what you are trying to get answered. So for my sake, God's sake and that poor kitten sake, I did read through a lot of post before I had the sack to post this question
I am posting this question because there seems to be a lot of different answers to a lot of different questions, so, I was hoping for very direct answers to these questions that I know have been asked plenty of times...
Here it goes...
I have purchased the HTE EVO w/ android 2.2 and I have had it for about 2 weeks.
I want to root my phone, which is my first ever smart phone.
This is what I would like to happen...
1) I want to be able to have the restore point so that I can flash my phone back to stock so that if something happens the warranty will still be good.
* Does this save on my home pc or sdcard? Or Both?
I have read that you need to download here not there(ruu...clockworks/rom manager)...no here not there...If you download anything but this you will not be able to get it back to the stock setting and Sprint will know you have rooted the phone...The whole thing started to get a little confusing.
I am a very simple person so I am hoping for a very simple answer, if there is one.
1) How do I root my HTC EVO that has the android 2.2?
2) How do I make sure that I can have a recovery point incase I mess it up (brick, etc...)
3) How do I make sure that I can flash my phone back to the original settings just incase I have to send it in to be fixed for some reason, which rom manager lets me do this?
4) Is it legal to do this?
5) What might be the biggest no-no to do before, during and after you root your phone?
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.

Visit the wiki, that should answer most of your answers.
1. Rooting voids warranty
2. Always perform a nand backup if you want to revert to your previous state.
Visit the wiki, the instructions are simple.
EDIT: Actually the wiki will answer all of your answers.

thanks for any thing you can do!

Goddamit don't try to root new evos wih unrevoked or you could be bricked for eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it could be impossible for you to root because you ran unrevoked, but might as well give it a try. Gtalk, email, and Im are all [email protected] and like I said earlier, rooting evos seems to be my job.

Ok...
I am a new b at this. How can I get my evo rooted?
I noticed not to use unrevoked, but that is the only thing out there when I do a search.
Can someone please point me to the right dirction. some idiot proof instructions, videos, etc...

DO NOT RUN UNREVOKED OR YUO COULD PERMANENTLY CORRUPT YOUR PHONE!!!!! at the moment, there is no brainless way of doing it. you need to manually set up the adb and usb drivers, and then do some coding work, along with downloading like 1/3 gig of files.

Rooted EVO, want to install Gingerbread... Basic ROM?

Alright, so I have honestly looked every where and read as much as I can.
I have a Rooted EVO with the stock ROM. I really want to update to Gingerbread but am very confused. I do not want to lose my rooted status and I do not want a ROM with a bunch of MODS. I just want a simple stock ROM with Gingerbread and Root access. Is this possible. I am confused by everything I read and do not want to brick my phone.
Will updating my phone with the OTA while Rooted ruin my phone? Will I be able to keep my root status?
Thanks!

There are two different rooted versions (with very minor modifications) of the new stock Gingerbread ROM (anything with the labeled "Sense" is based on HTC's ROM's, though some of them are based on ROM's from other phones), both on the first page of threads in this forum. Look for "4.22.651.2" in the thread subject--and yes, those will keep your phone rooted and S-OFF. I believe there's a third thread with a method of updating without a flash, and yet another with minor modifications to the stock ROM (the Titanium-X ROM).
By contrast, anything that says "AOSP" is based on the Android Open Source Project, and therefore quite different from an HTC ROM, though all functions work on many of them (but there is some debate on how well the various radios work on AOSP ROM's).

Okay maybe I had that coming or maybe I just didn't phrase the question right.
I looked at the page linked above before I posted this and I read it all and still was confused. I guess I am looking for the idiots guide to doing this. I don't feel confident enough on my own.
I DID read, ALOT, and I looked at all the posts that are suggested when posting a new thread.

They are referring to the fact that this thread is for development only. For future reference you can avoid being flamed by posting in the Q&A section.
Don't worry to much about these guys, they lurk and jump at the chance to show off their supremacy over noobs.
Another word of advice would be to hit the thanks button for mtknife for his helpful and humble response.

Alright will do!
I thought the Q&A was for other basic questions. My error.

Do you have the latest recovery installed of RA or Clockwork ?

I have clockwork i believe. I just did what I think is a nandroid backup, I went into recovery and did backup.

That's always smart so you are doing good so far. What you want to do now is download the zip file and place it on your SD card. You can download it directly on your phone if its easier for you (wifi recommended). Just follow the link posted by dodgerbluehero above and I would recommend starting with the odexed version.
Now go into recovery and choose flash from zip - then - choose zip on SD card. Navigate to the downloaded file and hit the power button to select it and again to confirm. It can take a few minutes to write the files so just leave it alone. It will tell you when it's done and you can reboot.
These instructions are from my memory but should be pretty close. You would typically want to wipe but the dev says not to worry about it if you are coming from a stock rom.
Give it a shot, you will be fine. Pm me if you have any questions because the mods will probably close this thread soon. Good luck!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

what confuses me is where it says "firmware". Do I still have to install that or just the ROM??

The firmware is optional. You can install the rom and then decide if you want to flash the radio as well afterwards.
After you flash, the first boot sometimes takes a little while. Just let it do it's thing. You will be happily surprised how easy this actually is to do.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

but what benefit does it have? is the radio i have not as good?

Some people get better results with signal/3g speeds/wimax. The consensus seems to be that it varies by phone and area.
You can flash the rom without also flashing the radio and be just fine. Stop worrying and take the leap.
On the other hand this may not be for you.

Well I appreciate the time you spent explaining it. I just don't have the money to buy a new phone if I brick it. I rooted my phone on my own but never did any rom updates. I am going to try it once it downloads. Thank you again.

Oh one more thing, be sure that your phone has plenty of charge to make it through the flash and restart or that could lead to bricking your phone.

Agreed, at this point in the game, that's about the only way to brick your phone. It's one of my personal favorite little jokes when clockworkmod asks me are you sure? This cannot be undone! Darn near everything can be fixed thanks to this awesome community!

Root
Thanks to everyone for keeping this going it has helped me so much. One quick question I have installed the ROM and the firmware but I see in the apps things like the blockbuster app and wanted to remove it. I cant seem to uninstall it so I thought it wasn't rooted properly. I tried using Unrevoked3 on it but it failed stating
Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?
am I forgetting something simple or do I have to try and downgrade the firmware?
Thanks,

I think I recall seeing something about that error on the unrevoked website. I'm out and about right now but I'll check on it when I get home, but in the meantime if you wanna do some digging, I'd start there

[Q] Frustrated, need root help, yes, I'm a noob.

I've searched, and I've searched, and I've searched...
And I'm still confused.
There's so much old info out there, so many different versions of the same phone, and so many new words I'm not used to, I just can't find the right set of instructions that I need for my phone. All I want to do, is a simple root, and get those stupid freeloading apps that "S" pre-installs off of my phone; I want maps and telenav to stop starting automatically on bootup; I want my battery to fully charge, and I want my mobile hot-spot! I don't want special roms (I'm only 95% certain I know what they are), or anything else special for that matter. Just access to fix my phone so it's not completely useless and constantly rebooting the home screen due to lack of ram.
Here's my stats:
Android version:
2.3.3
Baseband version:
2.15.00.0808
Build number & Software number:
4.54.651.1
If you need any more info, I'll happily post it.
I am NOT asking for someone to hold my hand through the process, just to point me in the direction of the correct guide. I must have read at least 15 different guides now, and haven't a clue which one is the one I need to use.

Thanks "dude" (I'm a chick by the way lol), but that link is not loading.
I'm really just looking for a link to the correct root guide.

Look around for revolutionary root process.
revolutionary.io
There are a couple detailed guides that I know of in the EVO Q&A and General forums...

OR if that's too hard.....

I used revolutionary and it was painless. Follow the instructions on the site and the assosiated information and you will not have an issue.
Once rooted you can install another recovery (amon ra) or just use clockwork which revolutionary offers to install. Perform a backup in recovery and reboot your phone.
Get titanium backup and you can start removing the apps you want.
That's what I did, hopefully it helps a bit.

Thanks, revulutionary is exactly what I needed. Seems like every guide I searched and read, went other directions.
maz - I was giggling about the dude remark, not mad about it (hence the "lol"). Seems maybe you need to save that chill pill for yourself.

Revolutionary is good. I recommend you read more about custom ROMs after that, there's a good chance you will find something that suits you better than your stock ROM. MIUI and CM7 are both great ROMs to play around with. Make a backup before you do anything with ROMs.
I've helped alot of my friends that are new to android/smartphones/rooting to understand it all and get up and running, if you need help just let me know.

So i followed the guide and i got pretty far but once i got to step 19 i got stuck the unlock bootloader screen never showed up. In the video it says that once i type fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin the unlock bootloader screen should instantly show up but it doesnt, if it doesnt show up instantly is something wrong or should i simply wait? and another question step 21 says to take the battery out while its booting and put it back in doesnt sound to safe to me should i disregard that? and just boot into the bootloader

Make sure you copy the unlock token file that you received via email to your ADB tools folder, then try the command again.

Well i was able to fully root my phone with s-off and i wanna know how can i delete the apps that came with the phone like the blockbuster app and sprint tv app i dont need the extra bloatware how do i remove it?

Use a file manager like ES File Explorer. Set and allow it for root access and have fun..... BUT FIRST: MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP. You don't want to delete something important..... Always make a nandroid. Make sure you get the Wimax partition when you nandroid too. :thumbup:

It's not hard. It's an option that should be built in to your custom recovery.
The consensus is to us amon-ra smelkusMod recovery, or just plain amon-ra.
CWM and TWRP are okay, but amon-ra style recoveries are the best and more thorough.
Just use the search tool for smelkusmod

Well that was easy i honestly thought that was gonna be a lot harder to do now to start deleting bloatware and hopefully learn how to download some roms. if i load a rom does it delete everything on my phone like contacts text messages etc?

Yep. I think you can backup your texts with Handcent SMS. As far as your contacts go, you should have them synced to your Google account.

So i got my phone rooted now and now comes the big question, how to pick a rom ive been looking at roms for the past couple hours and i dont think i have the time to go through all those roms just to test them to see if i like them anyone got any suggestions?

I won't suggest a ROM, but if you want a stock feel, grab any Sense ROM. You can find the best Sense 1.0-3.x ROMs in the world in the Evo Dev threads. AOSP is a different story.... But you may wanna get your feet wet with a 2.3.5 or 2.3.7 ROM like Cm7 or Decks. They give you full functionality as well as customization. I personally feel ICS left a sour taste in most peoples mouths as well as some of the early staged Jellybean ports and builds, but a handful of them were VERY good. That's just my opinion though. I personally run newer Jellybean ROMs for the simple fact that I prefer the updated look/feel/effect even without the use of things like 4g, camcorder and HDMI plus a few other small things. I think I laid it out pretty well for you so with that said, welcome and post up if you need help. The development has mostly ceased around here, but the Devs and users alike are always around to help out.

So i just got a notification asking me if i wanted to update my phone to android 2.3.5 but since i just rooted my phone idk if i should update but another thing i looked up my android version and im already on 2.3.5 is there any reason why it would ask me to update
